"We played good D, and we made shots at the same time.
That's a good combination. I think they had a tough night shooting. The first
half they had a lot of tips that could have gone in and I think 10 or 13
offensive boards in the first half, or something like that. They did a good job
on the boards. They just couldn't get anything to fall. We were shooting it
very well, so we were able to build a lead."

(On the amount of shots Spurs blocked)

"We got a lot of good deflections. We packed the floor well.
The guys did a good job of being active with their hands."

(on Marco Belinelli's play)

"Marco played well tonight. Everybody just notices his shots
that he made, but he is sharp. He makes good cuts. He can pass the basketball.
He knows what's going on on the court. He's got a really high basketball I.Q."

(On Tiago Splitter's first half injury)

"He might have been able to play probably. He would have
played. He said he could probably do it but there's no sense pushing it. It's a
long season."

Spurs forward Tim Duncan

(on defense in first half)

"It was real active. Everyone was real active tonight. We
good hands we made it crowded for everyone. We got a lot of hands on balls.
Danny (Green) did a great job in there. We had a lot of guys in there get some
steals and turn them into offense. Just all in all, good team defense."

(on challenges of blowout wins)

"Our challenge is just having a fourth quarter rhythm more
than anything. As the season goes on, we're going to have to play in some close
games coming down the stretch. Just being in rhythm and staying in shape for a
longer stretch. It's playing around 30 minutes rather than 20 minutes. All in
all, it's basketball. We've been here before. We've got it done before and it's
a long season. It's a great to be in this situation. It's great to win games like
this and great to have a lot of people on the floor."

Spurs guard Patty Mills

(On play of Spurs bench)

"It's the energy coming off the bench that we need to
provide in that second group. We talk about focusing on defense and then that
being our staple. Tonight we did a good job of getting hands in and disrupting
them and making them pay for that."

(On keeping teams below 40 percent shooting)

"Pop has made that a focus for us. Like always it's defense
first and then we'll let the offense roll out from there. Our defensive energy and
effort has got to be there every night. No matter how good you shoot or how bad
you shoot the ball. If the defensive intensity in there, we will be all right.
We will keep maintaining that."
